Of the incident, she explained: "My back leg just slid off the wire and it just happened really fast, but I knew from training my instinct was to grab the wire so I grabbed it with my right arm.
"I thought I was okay and thought I was going to let myself down on my feet, but instead I hit a metal beam below me."
